Featuring a two-colour slip-stitch stripe pattern, Burdock is both simple to knit and wear. I chose to use Brooklyn Tweed’s Dapple yarn for this design—a DK-weight wool and cotton blend which is adaptable for multi-season styling. Wear the Burdock Tank as is or layered over a long-sleeve top or shirt depending on your style and the season.
